Reviews

Okay, so I'd like to complain for a bit here. Anyone who feels like they should jump in may do so.

How is it that I can write a chapter and get 100+ reads but not one review? I'm not the type of HPFF writer that complains about quick reviews, either. I love my long, detailed responses that come from my regular reviewers, but I am very pleased with a simple "good job" or "i like ___ but work on ___." I don't even hate constructive reviews, though I'm not too fond of flames.

I wish I could make all readers take mandatory courses that explain why writers like readers' comments. Since I can't, I'll tell you here.

WE LIKE TO KNOW WHAT OUR AUDIENCE THINKS. IT HELPS US BECOME BETTER WRITERS.

All in all, I write fanfiction for two reasons: 1) to work on my writing skills and 2) to play around in the world of HP. I don't know how I'm doing with either if readers don't respond.

Thanks for reading the rant,
Kate/RP
